Found: The 'holy grail of catalysis'– turning methane into methanol

Found: The ‘holy grail of catalysis’—turning methane into methanol under ambient conditions using light.
An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. The method takes place under continuous flow over a photo-catalytic material using visible light to drive the conversion.
